About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get to know new people and share our lives and home - we've been blessed and enjoy sharing our blessings

ABOUT ME

We mnt bike, road bike(avg.speed,14-20 mph), kayak,motorcycle(road, trails, gravel roads),race triathlons, play with our dogs(though we are down to two right now, a Jack Russell, "Cujo", and a Dutch Shepherd mix, "Axl".... and you never know if another dog might be couchsurfing here as well!). Jilly used to run a lot but now concentrating on power-walking after getting a new bionic knee. We work hard, play harder. Love a great sunset or rise! Hike, bike and off-road motorbike in the South and West as much as possible. We read a lot, experience the new, always hungry for knowledge! Run three businesses!

PHILOSOPHY

HOW OLD WOULD YOU BE IF YOU DID NOT KNOW HOW OLD YOU WERE ?
Have fun and to help others! Did we mention FUN?

And, Jilly's favorite: It doesn't have to be fun, to be fun! ...and...."It's JUST like fun...only different"

And to borrow a great quote I just found from another CSer:
"Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen." ~ Louis L’Amore

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have never had a "good" or "OK" couchsurfing experience -- whether hosting or surfing - so far each and every CS experience has been INCREDIBLE! We are definitely sold on the couchsurfing project and the outstanding people who participate! We love to surf and host!

We are also members of "Warm Showers" - same concept but geared (pun intended) to bicyclists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Very difficult to pick less than FIFTY amazing things we have done or experienced! WOW! LIFE OFFERS SOOO MANY AWESOME CHOICES!
Jilly does say one of her most amazing experiences was mnt. biking up White Rim Trail in Moab and making it to the top without stopping - whew!
In 2015 we also lucked out to be one of the 20 lottery winners to hike to "the Wave" (though the other hikes we did in those 2 weeks were equally stunning!)
